"One Universe" RPG thread.

[LibrarianThorne]

I turn to the Robin Hood wannabe and the short guy i the yellow outfit.

"So, what do you think we're...."

Suddenly, the doors open and a bunch of those flying guys come at us.

"Nevermind."

I jump at the swarm of soldiers and slam into five of them. I punch and kick and do what I have to to get past them. I even grab one of them and start using him as a bludgion. Normally, I'd worry about hurting the guy, but right now I'm too freaked out to care. Suddenly, a bunch of them grab me by the legs and bring me down, and a few more lunge at me. I hold up my arm to block them, and....

They jump back in pain.

I look at my arm, and I see that it's now all armory and spikey. And then it goes back to normal. What the hell.

A few more of them come at me. I wonder....

My fist grows in size and becomes hard as steel, and I swat them away like they were nothing.

I don't know what this street schmutz is, but I really like it.

IC: Green Arrow

"Hey, uh, Spidey? I don't think that your average spider can do that sledgehammer trick."

He wielded an arrow in each hand, and was using them like knives, impaling the invaders in their eyes and throats, a symphony of movement. Black, ugly blood erupted from their faces when he impaled them with his arrows.

 

[The Question]

"Well, my mommy always said I was special."

A bunch of soldiers come at me. Webbing flies out of my fingertips and wraps around them. I then slam them into a group of their comrads.

Wait.

Tat didn't come out of my web shooter.

Hell, I didn't press the button on my palm.

The shmutz makes it's own webbing?

I definately like this stuff.

 

[wiegeabo]

IC: Darkseid

The human's words reached Darkseid's ears, and he looked up from crushing Superman into the ground. There, in this humans' outstretched hand, was the greatest weapon in the universe. A weapon against any potential threat. More than that, a component to the Anti-Life Equation.

Yet this battle had come to signify more than just the conquest of another world. This world was to serve as an example of Apokolips' might, after defying him so. He looked down at Superman, then again at the Juggernaught, and finally at Reed.

Plans within plans within plans began to course through Darkseid's head, and he smiled as he stared hard at Reed. He allowed flame to flare away from his eyes as he did so.

"You haven't the courage to use that weapon you hold, human, but the Nullifier interests me. We will strike a deal, you and I. You will give me the Ultimate Nullifier and my forces will leave this world. You will have it to protect for as long as this universe exists."

He looked around then, surveying the devastation caused by his battle with these superhumans.

"Or, you can attempt to use that Nullifier that you hold. But I do feel an obligation to warn you about one small matter. If you were to erase me, this entire reality would cease to exist."

Darkseid smiled again, a smile that sent chills up the spines of everyone who saw it. He folded his hands across his chest, and removed his boot from Superman's head.

Oh, that's just bull****!

"Oh, that's just bull****!"

Did I just say that out loud? Yep. Oh, well.

"You can't believe this guy, Richards. 'If you erase me reality stops.' What kinda crap is that? He's only sayin' this stuff 'cause we finally got him on the ropes." Then I look at the way 'Seid's eyeing the Nullifing thingie. "Or he wants something..."

I step closer to Richards and lower my voice. "Don't give it to him. C'mon, you're all smart and stuff, think about it. He comes wantin' our planet, and now he'll be happy with that little watchmacallit in your hand. Must be somethin' valuable. Makes ya wonder what he wants with it..." Wow, I sound really smart.

 

[Logan Howlett]

Hey, looks like these kids can hold thier own. We damn near got all the troops thrashed. I tear through em like a knife through butter. I almost hit that berzerker rage like earlier, but I pull back. Cant go that crazy with these guys here, might end up with spider-sushi. But now that I start to look around, im noticin somethin....somethin dangerous. This Spider-kid is smackin em' around pretty good, but he aint finishin the job, hes just leavin em' unconsious. We got no idea what thier capable of, for all we know they got healin factors to some point, obviously not as grand as yours truely, but who knows maybe a concusion dont last long with these guys.

What the hell are you doin kid? If yur gona put em' down then put em' down fer good! Dont half ass, I dont want any of these guys popin back up like some cheap horror flick!

All the troops lay unconsious on the ground, I walk over to one and bury one set of claws deep in his skull. The kid looks suprised, almost sickend. Ya he's real green.

 

[twylight]

Dinah crosses her arms, looking like a tiny doll next the the large man with the helmet. What was with that anyway?

"Think about it. If he has the nullifier nothing will be able to stop him."

Wait..what had Reed said about blowing up Darkseid's ships? Tony was on one of them.....

Jesus Christ, the guy's a sociopath.

I put my hand on the hairy guy's shoulder. Hard.

"What the hell are you doing? There ain't a need for that."

 

[Logan Howlett]

This kid has some nerve.

You have a problem with me offin him kid? You have a problem killin one a' the guys tryin to kill every livin thing on our planet? You have no idea what these things may be capable of, for all you know theyr gona spring right back up and kill every one of us with our backs turned. Not to mention that they just took out 45 military trained agents without half a breath! I aint got no problem killin kid, if you do than maybe this aint the place for you after all. In war you KILL! And make no mistake kiddo, We-Are-IN-WAR! You think these guys give a spit about your life? They'll off you soon as look at you. If yur gona stay, than check your morality at the door bub!

 

[The Question]

"I hardly think All Star Squadron stabed nazi troops to death after they were down. We're wasting time here. If you want to make sure they don't get back up? Fine."

I shoot out a bunch of webs and stick the troops to the floor.

"Now let's go."

I walk through the doors and start down a hallway.

"If you've actually seen the size of this thing, you'll realize we've got alot more ground to cover before this is over."

 

[LibrarianThorne]

Oh, that's just bull****!

"Oh, that's just bull****!"

IC: Darkseid

The humans were daring to cast doubt upon what he had said? He sighed. Dealing with lower life forms was always so troublesome.

"Richards, I will make one thing very clear to you. I wield the Omega Effect, and to put it in terms your three dimensional brain can comprehend, it is the negative side of creation. For every beginning there must be an ending. The Omega Effect is that ending. It is a part of the One Above All, and to erase me, the one who bears it, is to erase the being that created and drives this reality. You may choose to believe me, and accept our agreement. Or you can attempt to erase me, and all will be ended. The choice is yours, human."

 

[wiegeabo]

C'mon Richards, blow this guy to pieces, or whatever that thing does. What is he waiting for?

Dinah crosses her arms, looking like a tiny doll next the the large man with the helmet. What was with that anyway?

"Think about it. If he has the nullifier nothing will be able to stop him."

Wait..what had Reed said about blowing up Darkseid's ships? Tony was on one of them.....

She's right. Wow, brains and body. Lethal combo. Focus Cain, focus...wait, we've got a team on that ship up there. It's not like I really care if they get blown up or not, but they should at least get a fightin' chance. Besides, they've been up there forever. What're they doin'? Havin' a party or somethin'? Blow the damn thing up already.

Then I get an idea. I step back and lower my voice so only she can hear me. "Babe, as long as we got this here standoff, maybe you could get up to that mother of a ship. Help the others out with that super power I know you're just itchin' to use. They seem to be just takin' there sweet time gettin' rid of the thing. I think you could get them to work a bit faster. Am I right?"

 

[Victor Creed]

I wipe off my blade and look over to see spiderkid growin an egg sac. He and Logan seem to be havin a few...words.

You have a problem with me offin him kid? You have a problem killin one a' the guys tryin to kill every livin thing on our planet? You have no idea what these things may be capable of, for all you know theyr gona spring right back up and kill every one of us with our backs turned. Not to mention that they just took out 45 military trained agents without half a breath! I aint got no problem killin kid, if you do than maybe this aint the place for you after all. In war you KILL! And make no mistake kiddo, We-Are-IN-WAR! You think these guys give a spit about your life? They'll off you soon as look at you. If yur gona stay, than check your morality at the door bub!

Heh. Looks like Logan's startin to get in touch with his inner child. Maybe bein around me is doin him some good.

Nice speech Logan, they got ya giving classes on ethics at that school of yers. Looks like yer getting used to kids mouthin off at ya.

He doesn't say anything, just walks on through the door and past the splattered pieces all over the walls. The hall's covered in em.

Guess that grenade did the trick. Too bad ya had to get out of its way though Logan.

He's been comin closer to losin it, I can feel it. All he needs is a little help and these cuts should slowly push him over the line. That's the kinda thing that turns an ordinary guy (as ordinary as we can be anyways) into a pure killin machine. My type of people.

"Now let's go."

Guess we're followin the kid. Maybe he knows where we're goin.

"If you've actually seen the size of this thing, you'll realize we've got alot more ground to cover before this is over."

 

[Sparta*]

"You haven't the courage to use that weapon you hold, human, but the Nullifier interests me. We will strike a deal, you and I. You will give me the Ultimate Nullifier and my forces will leave this world. You will have it to protect for as long as this universe exists."

"You need not doubt my courage, being of darkness. I can assure you I will use the Ultimate Nullifier if I deem it fit to do so" Reed paused for a moment, not to consider Darkseids offer, but to gather his thoughts. "I will never give you the nullifier, not as long as there is life left in me. A weapon of this magnitude would spell the end of all existance if it fell into the hands of a twisted being like yourself. If it took the destruction of this planet to prevent you from getting this weapon and spreading darkness on infinite other galaxies, I would do it without a second thought"

"Or, you can attempt to use that Nullifier that you hold. But I do feel an obligation to warn you about one small matter. If you were to erase me, this entire reality would cease to exist."

Reed pondered for a few moments. "What Darkseid is saying can't be true, can it? No...Uatu would never have summoned me to retrieve the weapon if this was the case. Darkseid is caniving...he must think I am merely as intelligent as most people on this planet...his farce will not work on me"

"You are truly misguided if you think your tricks and lies will effect me Darkseid...your soul is black, and your words are like a vile plague. I would never believe a single word uttered from your mouth...I know better...I will not allow you to trick the people of this planet into ultimatley ensuring your rule, like so many other planets you have conquered in the past"

Oh, that's just bull****!

"Oh, that's just bull****!"

Did I just say that out loud? Yep. Oh, well.

"You can't believe this guy, Richards. 'If you erase me reality stops.' What kinda crap is that? He's only sayin' this stuff 'cause we finally got him on the ropes." Then I look at the way 'Seid's eyeing the Nullifing thingie. "Or he wants something..."

He comes wantin' our planet, and now he'll be happy with that little watchmacallit in your hand. Must be somethin' valuable. Makes ya wonder what he wants with it..." Wow, I sound really smart.

"He wants the power to bend reality to his dark desires...power that only this weapon can bestow" Reed said looking at this juggernaut of a man "...by the way, who are you?" Reed said "Actually, nevermind, it doesn't matter right now...we'll deal with the introductions when this parasite is thousands of light years away from Earth"

"Richards, I will make one thing very clear to you. I wield the Omega Effect, and to put it in terms your three dimensional brain can comprehend, it is the negative side of creation. For every beginning there must be an ending. The Omega Effect is that ending. It is a part of the One Above All, and to erase me, the one who bears it, is to erase the being that created and drives this reality. You may choose to believe me, and accept our agreement. Or you can attempt to erase me, and all will be ended. The choice is yours, human."

Reed once again pondered to himself "Could he be speaking the truth about this Omega Effect? If he is erased from existance, will all reality fall apart? Uatu would have warned me...but maybe he wasn't aware of that fact" Reed felt it slowly creeping into him....doubt...something he did not need. He had an incredibly hard decision to make...should he take his chances, and eliminate Darkseid at the cost of ending the world, or do nothing and allow this madness to continue indefinatley. This decision was one Reed did not want to make, but he was placed in this situation and now the decision was his and his alone.

"I know more about this weapon then you think a mortal could possibly comprehend. If eliminating you from existance will destory reality, I will eliminate your ships, and trap you in an alternate dimension for all eternity...where you can suffer and atone for the darkness you have spewed upon the galaxy. I know using this weapon will end my life, but don't think that will cause me to falter for a moment...if ending my life ensures you can never hurt another being, and can never get your hands on the Nullifier, it will be done without hesitation. Darkseid! I offer you this final chance to take your ships and leave this Planet, but you must make an oath on your honor that you will never return...what will it be dark one?" Reed waited anxiously...he was not one to loose his cool, but when you have the fate of the cosmos in your hands, and a dark ageless titan before you, its hard not to be a little on edge.

IC: Darkseid

The human had more of a spine than he'd given the race credit for. Darkseid would never admit to it, but he was impressed. He smiled again, the smile of a wolf circling its wounded prey.

"In all the rush, I must have forgot to mention something rather important. If you use the Nullifier on my forces, I will have no other recourse than to use my own Omega Effect on you and those you care about, Richards."

Darkseid carefully eyed each of Earth's heroes, as if appraising them.

"There are fates far worse than death. Death itself is merely a passage to a different plane for mortal souls like yours. My power is true death, the final death. To put it simply, Richards, I can make anyone and anything here cease to be. You will not pass on to the etherealms and see the Silver City. Your soul, your very essence, everything that defines you as a member being of creation will be utterly and totally annihilated. It will be as if you never were, and had never come to be. Consider your choices carefully, Richards."

Darkseid glared hard at Reed Richards. "Give me the Nullifier and ensure peace, or face me down and ensure doom and destruction. The choice, and the price, are yours."

Darkseid glared hard at Reed Richards. "Give me the Nullifier and ensure peace, or face me down and ensure doom and destruction. The choice, and the price, are yours."

"Just give me the word Richards," I say, "and I'll knock that smug head of his right off." For emphasis I crack my knuckles, loud. I feel better than I ever have. Like Cytorrak's givin' me more power to compensate for gettin' knocked out. And I'm ithcin' to use it. I glance over at the lady next to me. "You with me, Canary?" I look at the others. "You all with me?"

 

[Keyser Soze]

Five of Lex Luthor's AI planes swooped into the hangar, with a smooth, perfect landing. They flew with more grace and precision than any plane with a human pilot could.

"Wolverine, these planes are at your disposal. Contact me once you are ready, and I will remotely activate the self-destruct sequence on each one. But this plane must come back to Metropolis - it is carrying important research material. I wish you the very best of luck."

Luthor's plane took flight, exiting the hangar and moving away from the battlefield. Back in his office, Luthor made contact with Captain America's plane.

"You're my eyes and ears out there, Steve. If anything goes wrong, I want you to let me know."

 

[Batman]

Lex Luthor's planes were under attack. He connected to the camera feed on one of his AI planes, and caught sight of a green figure on a glider. Another alien? No, this was human. Or at least something close to human.

"Who the hell are you?" Luthor muttered to himself.

He didn't have time for this. Whoever it was, they weren't going to last long standing against Lex Luthor. He typed in a few commands, and 3 of his AI planes were dispatched towards the flying goblin, ready to open fire.

Ooooh... Looks like Lexy's showing a little resistance! Fine. I'll deal with ole' Baldie after I make paper dolls out of his planes. HAHAHAHA!

I fly past the first plane, and take out one of the bigger pumpkin bombs. The pilots will pay for their loyalty to the man who betrayed Norman Osborn. In SPADES. I throw the bomb into the jet engine, and hit the boosters on the glider, before the back of the plane explodes, causing the rest of the plane to spiral downward and crash into the streets, below.

One down, two to go. Good thing I wore my good underwear! Heh.

I see the second one just ahead, preparing to open fire. Not in this lifetime, pal! I reach into my bag, and pull out two razor bats. They say there's a nut in Gotham City who uses something like these. I'll have to get these pattened. Or kill the other guy. Yeah, that sounds better. HAHAHAHAHA!

I throw the razor bats at the plane's fuel tank, making it leak. I then turn around as I fly past the plane, and throw a couple of mini-bombs into the steam of fuel.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls Of Fire!

...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I look, to see the last plane coming towards me. Unforutnatley for me, this one actually gets to firing it's damned guns. Two of the bullets strike me in the chest, knocking me off the glider. Normally, a man would be dead just from that. Luckily, Osborn thought to build a kevlar armor into this spandex getup, too!

What? Did you think I'd actually go out in these brightly colored tights without a little protection, did you? This is NEW YORK, for godsakes! It's almost mandatory that you'd get shot running around in something like this!

I look down at the ground, which I'm spiraling towards. The kevlar won't mean a damned thing if I'm street pizza.

NO! It can't end! Not like this! I've only begun!

I press a button on my glove, making the glider do a loop, which makes it fly under me. I land, perfectly on it. Of course, that's due to the magnets, But right now I really couldn't care less.

I open fire on the plane, only to watch as the bullets ricochet off of the plane's armor. Damn... Just what I hate. An enemy who actually has the mental capacity to armor his planes.

...Oh well. Easy come, easy go! HAHAHAHA!

I press another button on my glove, and fly around the plane, taunting it with faces and hand gestures, as I wait. Then, I see it, behind me. A SECOND Glider, which I called for. I grin at it, before looking up at the plane, and giving a salute.

"BON VOYAGE!", I call out, before pressing another button, activating two large spikes in the other glider. I press more buttons, making the glider fly into the plane, latching itself on with spikes. Then, I press one last button, flying past the plane.

"Heh... Boom.", I say to myself, as the glider self-destructs, taking the plane with it.

Don't you get it, Luthor?! Norman Osborn may have been some weakling that you pushed aside, But THE GREEN GOBLIN is INVICIBLE!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

"You all with me?"

I touch down on the ground, intentionally placing myself between the Lord of Apocalips and my fiance, who once again has decided to join this chaos. If she's not going to listen to me, then I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Darkseid has hard time getting to her, if it comes to that.

"No. I'm not going to let this escalate any more than it has. We have to find a way to negotiate some kind of treaty here, otherwise this war will destroy us all."

"You're my eyes and ears out there, Steve. If anything goes wrong, I want you to let me know."

I turn to the short guy.

"So. Know how to fly these things?"

 

[twylight]

C'mon Richards, blow this guy to pieces, or whatever that thing does. What is he waiting for?




She's right. Wow, brains and body. Lethal combo. Focus Cain, focus...wait, we've got a team on that ship up there. It's not like I really care if they get blown up or not, but they should at least get a fightin' chance. Besides, they've been up there forever. What're they doin'? Havin' a party or somethin'? Blow the damn thing up already.

Then I get an idea. I step back and lower my voice so only she can hear me. "Babe, as long as we got this here standoff, maybe you could get up to that mother of a ship.

Am I right?"

Dinah looked at him, a struggle waging within her.
Tony had told her to stay put, but years of watching her Mother and "uncles" in action had taught her to take action. However her thoughts are elsewhere as she listens to Darkseid, her mind flying over his words, strategizing.

"Just give me the word Richards, and I'll knock that smug head of his right off."

Dinah raised her eyebrow as he cracked knuckles as large as her head.

Dinah look "You with me, Canary?" "You all with me?"

“I’m with you big guy, But I doubt shear force will do much good.”


She steps back as gold and red armor lands in front of her. She glares at the back of his head and crosses her arms as she speaks.

"No. I'm not going to let this escalate any more than it has. We have to find a way to negotiate some kind of treaty here, otherwise this war will destroy us all."

“Nice way to ‘come to the rescue.’” She mutters so only Tony can hear.

I turn off the audio amplifier in my helmet, and speak into the communicator tuned to the channel Dinah's on. "Well, I am a knight in shining armor, Miss 'Canary'. Which reminds me, you're going to have to explain that later on."

He was beginning to get annoyed. The other Earth heroes talked and prattled on, but Reed stood silent.

"Richards, my patience grows thin. Decide quickly, or I will resume slaughtering the people of this planet and completing my conquest."

I turn off the audio amplifier in my helmet, and speak into the communicator tuned to the channel Dinah's on. "Well, I am a knight in shining armor, Miss 'Canary'. Which reminds me, you're going to have to explain that later on."

"I don't need to explain anything to you. Except two things:
One, I can take care of myself...and two, the JSA would have been done with this loser by now."

Dinah snapped, her impatience growing.

Apologizes to JLA Year One

 

[wiegeabo]

I touch down on the ground, intentionally placing myself between the Lord of Apocalips and my fiance, who once again has decided to join this chaos. If she's not going to listen to me, then I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Darkseid has hard time getting to her, if it comes to that.

"No. I'm not going to let this escalate any more than it has. We have to find a way to negotiate some kind of treaty here, otherwise this war will destroy us all."

Oh give me a break! "Whoose side are you on, chrome-dome?" I can't believe this guy. "C'mon! Richards got his Null-thing and yours truly's got his second wind back. If you ain't gonna fight, then get out of the way and let us." I get into a running stance. If I have to go right through him and into 'Seid, I damn well will.

Did I mention I'm unstoppable. Yeah, I thought so...

I was about to respond to Dinah's whispered comments when the big doofus cut in, so I reactivate my voice amplifier.

"Hey if you want to die, then fine by me, wide-load." I say stepping aside, so he has a clear line of sight to Darkseid, "Just don't expect me to pull your ass out of the fire again."

"And by the way, I never said I won't fight if it came to that, I just think that negotiating with Darkseid would be a much more intelligent option than just endlessly trying to beat him to a pulp, and hoping that you'll succeed. Wouldn't you agree, Dr. Richards?"

I turn to Reed, he's still holding the Nullifier, and if anything, this is more of a stand-off between him and Darkseid. I just hope he live up to the title of smartest man alive.

He was beginning to get annoyed. The other Earth heroes talked and prattled on, but Reed stood silent.

"Richards, my patience grows thin. Decide quickly, or I will resume slaughtering the people of this planet and completing my conquest."

"The time for negotiation is over Iron Man. Darkseid, I offered you the chance to leave freely despite all the death and destruction you have wreaked upon this planet in your never ending conquest, but now I can see I have only one remaining option..."

Reed grasped the Nullifier tightly and closed his eyes, he put himself in a state of pure, unbridled concentration. He turned to the heroes

"...I'm sorry" He said, still unsure of what would happen to the life on this planet if he used the Nullifier...would reality fall apart like Darkseid said? Well, there was only one way to find out, and Reed was beyond turning back at this point.

"Noooo!" Sue shouted as a bright white light exploded from the Nullifier. The light remained for a few moments, blinding and keeping everyone in a trance like state. When the light subsided, the heroes were still in the crater, and the Nullifier fell to the ground. Darkseid and his battleships were all instantly transported back across the galaxy to where they came, and where Mister Fantastic once stood, nobody remained. Reed's fate was unknown to the heroes gathered in the crater, but everybody feared the worst

"He's gone......" Sue said, picking up the Nullifier as a tear fell from her eye "It can't be..." she said as she collapsed to her knees in grief "It just can't be"
